I don't specifically hunt down work happening to RTs in my area, (I live in a Qwest area and a friend in an AT&T region who knows I like to look at infrastructure sent me this image) but it makes sense that they'd do something like this.

It does rain here, and we have about six months of fairly harsh winter each year, often featuring about a foot of snow at a time, plus build up.
Fortunately, whenever they can, the crossboxes and RTs are fairly well off the road, either in utility alleyways/spines behind houses or just set back a fair bit off the road. The few crossboxes that are really "close" to the road are either up on an embankment or just on a road with such a low speed limit that it's unlikely somebody will run their car into it.
